    OH MY GOD! Its so unbelievable! I mean really….. Its ending?.
    No! This is too soon!!. Oh! I just cant believe it!
    And how much we fought with our librarian to get these books in stock!
    But I just KNOW that it will be worth it. All good things come to an end right? . OH well, atleast we still have the movies to look out for!! ;-) (well, hopefully, before im married or something ;-) )

    Eoin Colfer,it’s terrible Artemis Fowl is getting an end!

    Finally I thought: Yes, this is something I LIKE!
    And now, a month later, I bought book 7, took a look on this website and saw: The Last Guardian – The End

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    I began to wail (yes, seriously…) for an half an hour,
    please, don’t stop Artemis Fowl!

    I think you can remember the end of Harry Potter (No this is not a comparison, I know you don’t like that ;) ), that was horrible.

    But now i’ll see that and think: That’s nothing, Harry Potter;
    It’s Artemis Fowl what I like now, and what I’ll like for ever…

    And then it should end? Please don’t do that, I know it get’s harder and harder to write good books but PLEASE!

    Greets,
    A To Big Fan!

    I’m looking forward to the book’s release of the Last Guardian, but i feel very sad too… I love this series of books… But I although know why it has to come to an end… The Artemis Fowl’s series was one of the series who made me to start reading fantasy book’s and made me thought that fairies maybe are not so childish. This series were also the first Sci-fi/fantasy books I read… I will never forget you Artemis Fowl… or Holly Short… or Foaly… or Julius “Beetroot” Root… or all the adventure’s…

    P.S Sorry for my English, I’m from Sweden, but I’m still learning D.S

    I want to cry for s whole decade,really good things don’t last forever.My first fantasy novel.Is there anyway we can persuade Eoin to keep on writing? :’-(

  15. 15 Ruth Anne

    Am I the only one not completely horrified that this is the “end”? Don’t get me wrong, I will miss the books but I’m also a bit relieved as this means I’ll be able to write my fanfiction without worrying about it messing up what’s going to happen all I have to do is look at what has happened and continue it in my own way. Eoin Colfer may stop writing the series, but as long as there are people who love them as much as all of us on this site Arty and Holly’s adventures will never really end. Looking forward to seeing how he wraps it up (well we can pretty much safely guess that Opal will die, that is one drawback for writing about future adventures).

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.It is so sad that Artemis fowl is coming to an end. It has been no doubt the best series I have ever read. I must have read every book ten times at least by now. Arty, don`t leave us!!!!!!!!!!

  18. 18 (i wish i was) Holly Short

    I can’t wait for the book but I am soooo sad it’s over! It’s NOT over it CAN’T be over! Artemis can’t end!!!! I am a vegetarian because of Artemis Fowl I will not allow these books to end (I’m not sure what i can do about it but i’ll figure it out). Please Eoin Colfer if you read this (which you probably won’t) keep writing Artemis please please please! It doesn’t have to be the same series maybe a spin-off series like 20 years in the future or something please!

    I have not read the books. About to start the first one, only because a friend of mine inssisted so much on me reading it. He clasified it as “fairies-hardcore” LOL.
    So bad I didn’t know about this books earlier.
    Sorry!
    But, I read they’re making a movie!? Yay!?
    B/C I dislike having to read…and trust me, I know, I am writing a book…(okay, fine–I wrote it. I am now revising it and editing it).

    Okay, I will read book one once I finish reading Catching Fire and 13 Curses.
    Sigh…I want to just start…but three books at the same time is heavy.

    P.S.: reading the first ch on the last book.
